Neural networks enable real-time plasma control circuits

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed neural network emulators to generate virtual circuits for real-time plasma shape control in tokamak devices. This approach uses a large dataset of simulated equilibria to train emulators that can rapidly derive accurate control vectors. The method aims to improve upon traditional techniques that rely on precomputed virtual circuits, which can degrade in performance as plasma configurations evolve. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more precise and responsive control systems for fusion energy devices.

    Real-time virtual circuits for plasma shape control via neural network emulators

    Reliable position and shape control in tokamak plasmas requires accurate real-time regulation of several strongly coupled shape parameters. The control vectors that disentangle these couplings, referred to as \textit{virtual circuits} (VCs), enable independent shape parameter con…
